Thomas Detry A Fade Candidate At Arnold Palmer Invitational
3 mins agoComing off his first PGA career win at the Phoenix Open, Thomas Detry followed it up with a 53rd-place finish at the Genesis Invitational last month. He now returns to play in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, an event he has participated in just once, finishing T24 in 2023. To succeed at Bay Hill, which measures 7,460 yards, players will need to execute well off the tee and be sharp with long irons. Detry is ranked 99th in total driving and 137th in strokes gained on approach, where he has lost 0.256 strokes per round. He is also ranked in the 52nd percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a distance that accounts for 35.5% of all approach shots at this course. Where Detry can make up strokes is on the greens, as he ranks 14th in strokes gained per round at 0.653. Given his struggles with approach play, Detry may find it difficult to succeed this week, and fantasy managers should consider looking elsewhere at his price tag of $7,200 on DraftKings.
